Over the course of long-term fieldwork, Frederick Klaits discovered Baitshepi's distinctly maternal ethos and the \"spiritual\" kinship embodied in the church's nurturing fellowship practice. Klaits shows that for Baitshepi members, Christian faith is a form of moral passion that counters practices of divination and witchcraft with redemptive hymn singing, prayer, and the use of therapeutic substances. An online audio annex makes available examples of the church members' preaching and song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Klaits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520259661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520259669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Frederick Klaits","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128478462207,"sku":"9780520259669","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a8af9af-0a7d-415b-888b-b207fcf16b52.jpg?v=1687458862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-in-a-church-of-frederick-klaits-9780520259669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
